[foxboro] Proper wait time for omget

Hello all,

I am planning to use /opt/fox/bin/tools/omgetimp to get several values 
(less than 300). I know that omgetimp sends a broadcast message to the get 
the information the first time, which can be bad if too many requests are 
sent too fast.  Speed isn't a big concern, but I don't want to wait much 
longer than necessary. Is 1 second between om requests sufficient, 2 
seconds, 4 seconds, or something else?  I have searched the old postings, 
and see a lot of apocryphal information, like I can use omget for 100 
values a minute with no problems (that I notice, on my small node, etc.) 
but no hard numbers that I can work from.  If I can get something together, 
I will consolidate the information and post it on the cassandra site so I 
will never have to ask this question again.

Also what's the difference (if any) between using the omget family and 
calling up an un-optimized display the first time?  Doesn't the display 
make a broadcast call for each connection on the graphic?

Thanks,
David
